It’s the “conservatives” in the Republican Party that have been
foremost in selling out our flags, history and heritage. Stop and
realize that!

Years ago I recall hearing a statement, the insightfulness of which I
did not grasp at the time. A man in the political arena, back in the
1920s, said: “The first, foremost function of a politician is to get
re-elected. Whatever else he may do after that is splendid redundance.”
That statement perfectly describes the political class, both in our day
and in many previous decades.

There was a time when men ran for office out of a sense of duty or of
giving something back to the community because they had been materially
blessed. Those men were statesmen. True statesmen are nearly extinct
today, a vanishing breed. Unfortunately they have been replaced with
politicians, the “political class” whose total agenda is all about
getting elected or re-elected. They have been convinced that selling out
their constituency for the “good” of the nation is their highest
calling–if it will get them re-elected, or better yet, if it will make
them candidates for higher offices.

Just months after winning
against a Trinity Church lawsuit designed to force Walmart to quit
selling AR-15s and “high capacity” magazines, Walmart corporate says it
will quit selling AR-15s of its own accord.

Moreover, corporate stresses that the decision is “not political.”

According to Gun Talk radio host Tom Gresham, Walmart corporate “confirmed” their decision to quit selling AR-15s on August 25.Gresham tweeted,
“CONFIRMED with Walmart corporate offices. Getting rid of AR-15s. They
aren’t selling. Replacing with hunting guns. (The AR is a hunting gun, dorkhead) ‘Not political.'”

I am a proud American who believes that America has held – and still
holds – a very sensitive and special place in the affairs of mankind on
Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and
protected in our two centuries plus of existence.

I believe that
America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of
tyranny, evil and conquest, and admittedly, we have made a lot of
mistakes. But on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the
international affairs of mankind.

It took a lot of old fashioned
guts for the Continental Congress to stand up to the world's mightiest
military and tell them that we demanded our independence, even at the
peril of going up against a far superior force on land and sea, and with
only a ragtag army of untrained citizens, many of whom had to supply
their own firearms.

Mention of the Tyrant deleted. Bless his heart........:) BT

It took
guts to give the order for American troops to storm the beaches of
Normandy on D-Day, straight into the face of artillery and machine
gunfire, wave after wave being cut to ribbons by German shore
emplacements.

The history of this nation is written in the blood
and courage of men who stood in the face of overwhelming odds –
politicians, soldiers, statesmen and ordinary citizens who sought to do
the right thing regardless of the cost or the consequences.

Well,
ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that
particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once
championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed
of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover,
pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing
a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of
their timid folly.

You don't even have the courage to face down an
out of control president, even when he makes a deal with the devil.
Don't you bunch of timid capons even care what kind of world you're
leaving to your children and grandchildren, not to even mention the rest
of us? Are you really party partisans before your parents and
grandparents or even human beings?

Be honest with yourselves a
minute. Go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and ask the person
you see this question: "Do I really believe that Iran will not use the
money we're releasing to them to finance terrorists to kill Americans,
and, when, not if, but when, the Iranians develop their nuclear device,
will they really use it against America and Israel?"

You can’t hide from the truthful answer to that question forever, an answer will be required of you one day.

You
have allowed Obama to tilt the Supreme Court so far to the left that
they're little more than a shameful extension of the Executive Branch.

You have talked for decades about the porous southern border but have done absolutely nothing about it.

You
have allowed cities in this nation to declare themselves sanctuary
cities where they protect the worst of the worst criminal aliens, and
American citizens are paying an awful price for your silence.

You
watch an impossible National Debt balloon completely out of control,
knowing full well that a day of reckoning is coming that will seriously
curtail the quality of life for coming generations.

You allow
corrupt government agencies like the IRS to run over the very people you
are sworn to protect and allow the entitlement society to expand
exponentially. All the while, you are actually entertaining the idea of
raising taxes on those who still work and shoulder the burden.

You compose a third of the constitutionally mandated ruling system,and you shirk your duty and allow this nation to move a little closer to the edge every day.

Your
ratings are in the single digits; your morals are in the gutter; your
minds are on self-preservation; and somewhere along the way, you’ve
traded your honor for political expediency.

You've violated your
oaths; you've betrayed your country; you've feathered your nests; and
you've sat on your hands while an imperial president has rubbed your
noses in the dirt time after time.

You're no longer men. You're
puppets, caricatures, jokes, a gaggle of fading prostitutes for sale to
anybody who can do you a political favor.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

Charlie Daniels

Charlie
Daniels is a legendary American singer, song writer, guitarist, and
fiddler famous for his contributions to country and southern rock music.
Daniels has been active as a singer since the early 1950s. He was
inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on January 24, 2008.

There’s an ill will blowing across the country. The economy is tanking. The people are directionless, and politics provides no answer. And like former regimes, the militarized police have stepped up to provide a façade of law and order manifested by an overt violence against the citizenry.

Despite the revelations of the past several years, nothing has changed to push back against the American police state. Our freedoms—especially the Fourth Amendment—continue to be choked out by a prevailing view among government bureaucrats that they have the right to search, seize, strip, scan, spy on, probe, pat down, taser, and arrest any individual at any time and for the slightest provocation.

Despite the recent outrage and protests, nothing has changed to restore us to our rightful role as having dominion over our bodies, our lives and our property, especially when it comes to interactions with the government.

Forced cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans, forced inclusion in biometric databases—these are just a few ways in which Americans continue to be reminded that we have no control over what happens to our bodies during an encounter with government officials. Thus far, the courts have done little to preserve our Fourth Amendment rights, let alone what shreds of bodily integrity remain to us.

The idea that disrupting and protesting Bernie Sanders speeches will change what is wrong in America is lunacy. The "BlackLivesMatter"
movement is focused on the wrong targets, to the detriment of blacks
who would like to see real change and to the benefit of its powerful white liberal funders using the attacks on Sanders for political purposes that mean nothing for the problems that face our community.

The
notion that some lives might matter less than others is meant to
enrage. That anger is distracting us from what matters most. We're right
to be angry, but we have to stay smart.

Advocates for mass-migration are using skewed financial claims to
smear Donald Trump’s popular border proposals, which actually would help
revive the near-bankrupt Social Security and Medicare programs.

For every illegal migrant household that leaves the United
States under Trump’s plan, Americans would recoup nearly three-quarters
of a million dollars ($719,350), according to 2010 data collected by
Heritage scholar Robert Rector.

N.C. and Virginia officials want candidates to pledge support for the eventual Presidential nominee.

Trump the only Republican who has declined to do so.

It’s a bad idea for N.C. voters.

In case you missed it, we said last month that Donald Trump wasn’t going to win the North Carolina primary.

We also said it two weeks ago.
.
We still feel that way. But we think it should be your call.

Politico
reported last night that the North Carolina GOP is contemplating a new
requirement that candidates pledge to support the Republican
presidential nominee, no matter who it is, and not run for a third-party
bid. If a candidate doesn’t make the pledge, he or she won’t be on the
Republican primary ballot on March 1.

The Obama administration's politicized bureaucracies are trying to
deceive the world once again, this time claiming, falsely, that July of
2015 was the “warmest on record.” In the real world, it was not even the
hottest July since last year, according to the global satellite
temperature record, which is considered more reliable and comprehensive
than the admittedly manipulated and incomplete data relied upon by NASA
and NOAA to make their latest false “warmest on record” pronouncements.

Virtually none of the establishment press bothered to mention the
caveats on the methodology behind taking the Earth's temperature,
preferring instead to parrot official press releases yet again.

Actress Julianne Moore and Hollywood producer Bruce Cohen want a new name for their old high school in northern Virginia, named for a Confederate general.

The one-time classmates have started a petition on change.org asking
that J.E.B. Stuart High School be renamed for civil rights leader and
Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. By Monday morning the petition had attracted nearly 29,000 signatures.

In a statement to The Washington Post, (http://wapo.st/1I8lcpW ) Moore
said it is reprehensible that the school is named for "a person who
fought for the enslavement of other human beings."

Remembrance

Execution of Colonel Ho Ngoc CanLast words: "If I won the war, I would not condemn you as you have condemned me.I would not humiliate you as you have humiliated me.I would not ask you questions that you asked me.I fought for the freedom of my people.I have merit and I am not guilty.No one can convict me.History will criticize you as my Communist enemy.You want to kill me, then kill me.Do not blindfold me.Down with the Communists.Long live the Republic of Viet Nam !"

Colonel CraigMandeville:

“They wanted the people to see that he was dead,” said Craig Mandeville, an American adviser to the South Vietnamese army who fought side by side with Can. “He was believed to be some sort of invincible guy. The North Vietnamese thought that, too, and I even thought that when I fought with him.”

“He said, ‘OK, the country’s fallen, but by God we’re still South Vietnamese and we’re free,’ ” Mandeville recalled. “So he went down to Chuong Tien province and rounded up all these soldiers down there to form a Free Vietnam.”

Col. Can didn’t live long after that, but the legacy of his struggle lives on.

Core Creek Militia

==============================My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

The Seven Blackbirds

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
